Chapter 350

History

(…History is destined to be scolded for hundreds of years or even longer when making a major decision, but some decisions have to be made. Many people did not understand it at the time, and many people did not understand it later... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")[..com]

The war is endless. Zhengzhou, the important place in Central Plains, has always been used to being baptized by war. People here have long been used to using the changing king flag on the city as conquerors. No matter who is put on the flag, they all obey. They just want to be able to live their humble life. (The genius can only remember it in 3 seconds) But this time it is different. Even the people of Kaifeng, who are so close to you, are empty. Zhengzhou is crowded, and people are talking about the enemies not far away on the streets: This time they are the Japanese, they are here to destroy their ancestors and clans, and they cannot surrender!

There were various anti-Japanese propaganda everywhere in the city, and people were speaking on every street. The soldiers became the most respected people in the city. Although they had defeated many battles, have they also won many victories? When people gradually stabilized their emotions, the soldiers no longer faced accusations and cold treatments. They were encouraged when they went to every place, and everyone was counting on them to block the invaders in Zhengzhou.

Bai Chongxi used to settling down the retreating army, especially the Guangxi troops, left for a while, but today he came to Zhengzhou and surprised him: This is not a city that accepts failure, and the morale here is high!

As the troops were constantly walking around, Bai Chongxi noticed their equipment, which was the level of the Central Army's elite division during the Battle of Songhu!

"Jiansheng, it's good that you're here!" Chiang Kai-shek looked tired but couldn't hide his excitement. He personally welcomed Bai Chongxi at the gate of the command center.

"Commission, how did this make..." Bai Chongxi quickly retracted his eyes, which were still observing everywhere, and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Chiang Kai-shek: "Jiansheng heard that the current command center is changing places every day to avoid Japanese planes and long-range cannons. Commission is too ignoring his own safety!"

"If this is not the case, how can the three armies use their lives?" Chiang Kai-shek replied with some conceit when he heard Bai Chongxi say this, and Kong Xiangxi beside him also showed a smug smile. (. Win the phone bill,)

"Kensheng, have you seen our equipment too?" Chiang Kai-shek said proudly as soon as he entered the inner world: "We have been very supportive. Now we have received a lot of support from the international community. This trip to Europe has gained a lot. Britain, France and other countries are willing to provide us with low-interest special loans. Although many cooperations are carried out in secret, the situation is indeed tilting towards us. Even if we continue to fight, we are not afraid of not being able to beat the Japanese!"

Is Chiang Kai-shek so confident? In Bai Chongxi's shock, Kong Xiangxi introduced his achievements in a series of European negotiations...

Due to the many victories of the Chinese team in many battles, the attitude of international consortiums that had always been worried about supporting China and various trade groups with political backgrounds was increasingly inclined toward China. At least they did not think China would be defeated. They felt that selling more materials to the Chinese government at high prices and lending to the Chinese government was a very cost-effective business. So Kong Xiangxi's original trip to Germany turned into a trip to Europe, with amazing results. (In fact, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, China's lack of materials was more due to Japan's blockade rather than no one was willing to lend to China. At the beginning, Britain, France, the United States and other countries tended toward Japan in trade in addition to acquiesced Japan to become a big player in Asia, mainly because of the collapse of the National Government and the money lent to China could not be recovered.)

"Now the UK, France and Germany originally intended to borrow loans and provide technical force to help us build the western railway across Xinjiang, so that aid materials from various countries can be transported to our country through the Far East Railway through the Soviet Union; at the same time, the Germans are willing to continue to fulfill our contract with Hebulou Company and transport the materials we urgently need through the Far East Railway..." Kong Xiangxi continued: "Although the western railway has not started construction, the materials transferred from the Soviet Union have been continuously coming through the Far East Railway through the Far East Railway. The troops we withdraw from Xuzhou during this Zhengzhou Battle can be fully replenished in at least a short time. For example, German armed divisions, they can continue to obtain the arms equipment originally scheduled in Germany, while other troops can equip the weapons of the Soviet, British and French... "

So that's it! Bai Chongxi was very regretful in his joy: In this way, the road to China via Vietnam is no longer so important, and their voice in the central government will be reduced... But forget it, don't think about it so much, everything is put as the War of Resistance first, and those who are beneficial to the War of Resistance should be happy!

Of course, Bai Chongxi came for the frontline war situation. He did not expect Chiang Kai-shek to have such a grand plan. Although this was an old plan, he really did not expect Chiang Kai-shek to do it! (The plan for digging the Yellow River was first imagined in the complete national defense plan before the July 7 Incident. It was mentioned many times during the Battle of Xuzhou. The initial digging of the dike was also changed three times, but in the minds of many people, this is a plan and an impossible plan; so even the Japanese did not take it seriously... Sometimes, some decisions must be remembered by historical infamous, it depends on who can bear it and dare to recite it...)

"At present, in addition to the 14th Division, the 10th Division, the 16th Division, the 4th Mixed Brigade and the 2nd and 3rd Mixed Brigades that were almost wiped out, the entire Japanese 13th Division had already set off Bengbu and was coming to the northwest. There were also the 13th Mixed Brigades just transferred from the Northeast and the 3rd and 5th Divisions behind them, all of them had entered the preset water barrier zone..." As Lin Wei personally acted as the introduction to the war situation report, Bai Chongxi's eyelids would jump from time to time: If this was really turned into a flood of the Ten Army!

"How is our reserve troops?" Bai Chongxi looked at the list of reserve troops, which were all inequality troops, basically the garrison troops in various places, and only one 70th army could be considered as the top.

"Jiansheng doesn't have to worry too much. In fact, the garrison troops in various places have arranged a large number of reserve troops to fight each army. They have been intensified for nearly two months, and have been transferred to the vicinity of the war zone to continue to complete the training. After the army moves in, they will find that they can immediately get replenished when they retreat. As long as the flood is flooded, the Japanese troops lose their combat effectiveness, these stunned troops will come to their senses!" Chiang Kai-shek said: "Jiansheng will know that our troops cannot be fought, but some generals cannot be fought! ... Also, the air force that our army has not moved during the battle will attack with all its strength after the dam is blown up, and all Soviet-made aircraft are sent. We are twice as many as the Japanese aircraft! Now, the number of aircraft at the Japanese airport has been figured out by our army. As long as the dam is blown up, they will blow up their front-line airports first or the guerilla troops will attack!"

This plan is obviously a plan that has been secretly laid out for a long time. Even if the reserve troops silently put into the battlefield, it will take at least one month to implement it, but now all the personnel are in place! As for the Air Force, Bai Chongxi has always found it very strange. He has never seen the Chinese Air Force in the Lanfeng Battle. It turned out to be for this fatal blow! (The Chinese Air Force had a fierce battle in the Lanfeng Battle in real history, and it was basically lost.) Bai Chongxi secretly looked at Farkenhausen, who was sitting upright next to Chiang Kai-shek, and he didn't believe that such a big plan would be done by the commissioner!

Big deal! There is really hope to end the Sino-Japanese war in this battle... Bai Chongxi felt his heart turbulent: the Battle of Songhu is doomed to be defeated, the Battle of Nanjing is doomed to be defeated, and the Battle of Xuzhou is doomed to be defeated... Because China has no capital to end these battles. But Zhengzhou is different. After the Zhengzhou war, there are water barriers everywhere. No matter how strong the Japanese army is, they have to stop, just like the Battle of Baogao that Cao Xiaomin fought in northern Jiangsu. Bai Chongxi was a little excited: he can finally take over a battle with a chance to end perfectly!

"Now the 16th Division of the Japanese Army is coming here crazily, just because we are worried that we will fight an annihilation war with the 14th Division again. I think we can use it..." On the night when Bai Chongxi arrived, he formulated a plan to lure the enemy into depth and lock in the 16th Division of the Japanese Army as the target of complete annihilation...

The ancient city walls in Kaifeng are now covered with collapsed gaps, which look like uneven beasts in the night, which is daunting. The Japanese troops have compressed the defense line into the city in five days of battle, but each step has caused the Japanese army to suffer huge casualties, so that the Japanese people in the front-line trenches occasionally cast their eyes on this ancient city.

"Bang..." A very light sound came, causing the Japanese sentry to shoot at the place where the sound came with a little panic... Maybe it was a wild dog coming to forage, and even a gust of wind blew over the helmet left in the wasteland? The Japanese looked at him suspiciously, and the roar of the light tank motor coming from behind him made him feel much more secure... "Bang!" The gunfire in the dark told the tank's hand that there was indeed an enemy situation! The sentry fell down, and the tank car drove over quickly...

Suddenly, on the side of the tank, a ball of black stuff flew over with red fireworks. It was a trolling bag! "Boom!" With a loud bang, the light tank was blown over and overturned...

"Good guy, this one is easy to do!" Four sneak attackers were walking in trenches that couldn't tell the direction. They had long been familiar with the terrain. They were a reconnaissance team that planned to ambush Japanese tanks after they knew the Japanese inertial actions.

"Brothers, when the explosion just now, I found the sign of this tank. It was not from the 16th Division, but from the 10th Division..." a scout said softly.

This information was transmitted to the headquarters that night: the tank troops of the 10th Division of the Japanese army secretly mixed with the 16th Division and had arrived at the southern line of the Kaifeng battlefield!
